Honda Civic 0-60 Specs Terms

In the tables above, you'll see a lot of terms that you may not be familiar with. Here's a quick rundown of what they each mean and why each of them is important when it comes to acceleration performance in 0-60 and quarter mile times.

0 to 60 (mph)

This metric measures how quickly a car can accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph. It is a common performance measure that is used to compare the acceleration of different vehicles. In general, cars with more powerful engines and better traction will have faster 0 to 60 times. This metric is often used by car enthusiasts and is reported in automotive reviews and specifications.

While 0 to 60 times can be a useful measure of a car's performance, it is important to note that it is just one aspect of a car's overall capabilities. There are many other factors that contribute to a car's performance, including handling, braking, and top speed.

1/4 Mile (sec)

The quarter mile time is another measure of a car's acceleration performance. It is the time it takes a car to cover a quarter mile distance from a standstill. This metric is often used in drag racing, where cars compete to see which can cover the quarter mile distance in the shortest time.

Like the 0 to 60 time, the quarter mile time is a useful measure of a car's acceleration, but it is just one aspect of its overall performance. A car's quarter mile time can be affected by many factors, including the power of its engine, the efficiency of its transmission, and the traction of its tires.

Transmission

The transmission is a mechanical system that transmits power from the engine to the drive wheels of a vehicle. It is an important component of a car's drivetrain and plays a key role in its performance and fuel efficiency. There are several types of transmissions, including:

  • Manual transmissions: A manual transmission requires the driver to shift gears manually using a clutch pedal and a gear shift. Manual transmissions are generally less expensive and can be more fuel efficient than automatic transmissions. However, they require more driver input and can be more difficult to use in stop-and-go traffic.
  • Automatic transmissions: An automatic transmission uses a complex system of gears and clutches to automatically shift gears as the vehicle accelerates. Automatic transmissions are generally more convenient and easier to use than manual transmissions, but they can be less fuel efficient and more expensive.
  • Continuously variable transmissions (CVTs): A CVT is a type of automatic transmission that uses a belt and pulley system to continuously vary the gear ratio between the engine and the drive wheels. CVTs are generally more fuel efficient than traditional automatic transmissions, but they can be less responsive and may not offer the same level of control as a manual or traditional automatic transmission.

Engine

The engine is the heart of a car. It generates the power that moves the vehicle and is an essential component of a car's performance. There are several types of engines, including:

  • Internal combustion engines (ICEs): An ICE is a type of engine that converts fuel into energy through a series of controlled explosions. ICEs are the most common type of engine used in cars and come in a range of sizes and configurations. The most common types of ICEs are gasoline engines and diesel engines.
  • Electric motors: An electric motor is a type of engine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Electric motors are becoming increasingly popular in cars due to their high efficiency and low emissions. Electric cars are powered exclusively by electric motors and do not have an ICE.

Drive Type

The drive type refers to how the power from the engine is transmitted to the wheels of the vehicle. There are several types of drive systems, including:

  • Front-wheel drive (FWD): In a FWD vehicle, the engine powers the front wheels. FWD vehicles are generally more fuel efficient and have a lower cost of ownership than RWD or AWD vehicles. However, they may have less traction and handling performance, especially in performance-oriented applications.
  • Rear-wheel drive (RWD): In a RWD vehicle, the engine powers the rear wheels. RWD vehicles tend to have better traction and handling characteristics than FWD vehicles, especially in performance-oriented applications. However, they can be more difficult to drive in slippery conditions.
  • All-wheel drive (AWD): In an AWD vehicle, the engine powers all four wheels. AWD systems can improve traction and stability in a variety of driving conditions, but they can also be more complex and costly to maintain than FWD or RWD systems.

Body Style

The body style of a car refers to its overall shape and design. There are several types of body styles, including:

  • Sedans: A sedan is a type of car that is typically characterized by a large, enclosed passenger compartment and a separate trunk. Sedans are popular for their spacious interiors and practicality.
  • Hatchbacks: A hatchback is a type of car that has a rear door that opens upwards, allowing access to a cargo area. Hatchbacks are often smaller and more fuel efficient than sedans, but they can offer similar levels of interior space and versatility.
  • Coupes: A coupe is a type of car that typically has two doors and a fixed roof. Coupes are generally smaller and sportier than sedans, with a focus on performance and handling.
  • SUVs: An SUV (sport utility vehicle) is a type of car that is typically larger and more rugged than a sedan or hatchback. SUVs are designed for off-road driving and have higher ground clearance and more rugged construction. They are also popular for their spacious interiors and practicality.
